Installing the prerequisites / dependencies

The Jetty RPMs need some prerequisites such as java and ant. These may be included by hand or a tool like yum or up2date may be used.

There are differences between the distributions in the packaging, versioning and availability of these prerequisites and this page is only and indication of some install paths. The documentation for your distro is probably a better place to look. Good resources to read include:

Using Yum for dependencies

Yum is a tool that can find and install dependent RPMs and is used by some distributions like fedora.
First you will need to add JPackage Yum Repo so that 3rd party RPM Dependencies of Jetty can be automatically downloaded and installed, dependencies such as ant, crimson, xml-commons, and xml-commons-jaxp

Java dependency

Jetty needs at least java 1.4, although java5.0 or greater is recommended.
Jetty may work with the gcj java supplied by default on some distros, but the configuration will need to be changed to avoid add NIO connectors. It is best to get a full jdk.
